Just another WordPress.com site

I would assume anyone who visits this site already knows who I am, but if not, here is a little background info about me!

My name is Alyssa and I just turned 29 years old. I recently moved to Redondo Beach, CA from a small town in southeast Wisconsin. I had longed to live in California for about 12 years, ever since I first visited southern CA for the first time my junior year of high school for our band trip. I immediately fell in love with the scenery, the weather, and the distinct hope and excitement I felt in the air. I felt so alive and energized, and knew without a doubt by the end of that trip (in 1998) that I HAD to live in California someday, and that I would…I knew it was a journey I had to take in my life, to find out who I really was and what I was capable of. From that moment on, the dream and burning desire never dissipated, and only grew stronger. It was one of the few things in life I always felt absolutely certain of, and I awaited the adventure more than anything.

So, 12 years later, after graduating college, constantly working multiple jobs, and tirelessly researching everything I could about southern California, here I am, a resident of Redondo Beach! I arrived on April 13th, and as of May 10th, I still can’t believe I LIVE here! Every day has been a new adventure, and everything is going great so far! I am in a somewhat perpetual state of disbelief that I have really achieved the biggest dream of my life thus far, and I often find myself wondering if it’s really all happening, or if I’m about to wake up from this beautiful dream world at any moment!

I am so happy and proud of myself that I would like to share with you all of my experiences, and hopefully it will inspire you to follow your own dreams, or at least convince you to come visit me out here and see what it’s like! I miss you all and can’t wait to see you again soon! =D
